Re: Allowing a control to receive mouse clicks while a modal dialog is up.

Why don't you move/copy the control on the modal box?

That idea crossed my mind too but this control is very much integrated into its surroundings not to mention this solution would cause a huge crowd of angry willagers chasing me with pitchforks and torches. Smile | :)

Thanks for the idea though. Smile | :)

This shouldn't be a problem: just copy the needed context and functionality.

In the DialogBox() or DialogBoxParam() call set hWndParent to NULL: this creates an 'unowned' dialog, which decouples it somewhat from your main window. Also set EXSTYLE WS_EX_TOPMOST in your dialog resource definition: this will keep the dialog on top of all other windows. You should then be able to click a button on the main window. You will probably also need to disable all the controls on the main window except the one allowed one if the dialog is active.

Thank you for your suggestion but this seems to be the same thing as the first possible solution i described in my post which i don't want to use. Correct me if i am missing something obvious here.

don't know whether i am on the right track.. when you click outside a modal dialog the message it is posting will be 0x118.. with wParam 0xfff8 by handling that you can check for your mouse pointer position and check whether it is the area where the component fall in the parent. You don't have to wait for a click on the button but for the mouse click on that area you can trigger that function.. I think i am clear.

I don't think this is quite true, the messages posted on a mouse click are dependent on where the mouse is positioned: a menu item, button, task bar etc.

This will not provide consistent or reliable results. If this click happens to be on another open window, then that window will be given the focus and receive the message. This is a very unsafe way to handle messages; if you bypass the rules prescribed by Microsoft, then you must be prepared to accept that it may not work as you wish.

I didnt get your exact need but still i think you are looking for something mentioned
below:-
Before i answer i have small doubt regarding the type of applicaiton.
so a question.

Whether your application is SDI application with CEditView or

From assumption

If it is CEditView then override OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) function of CView by choosing WM_CHAR from classwizard.
And simply check the character with nChar value.
if it is "s" then simply load the bitmap corresponding to it, but i think CRichEdit will support Bitmap loading.

If Edit box(CEditCtrl) then
Firstly override the PreTranslateMessage of Dialog and
you can use the below code if only one edit box else
get the position to to get the exact edit box before checking for the message WM_CHAR.

BOOL CYourDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if( WM_CHAR == pMsg->message )
{
AfxMessageBox( "sa" );
}
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Величие не Бога может быть недооценена.

I want to kill the process using DebugActiveProcess.. I read somewhere that to kill the debugee process or target process i need to terminate the Debug object.. Can anyone clarify that? How do i do that?

Thanks.

I'm doing something like this.

	objAttr.Length = sizeof(OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES);
	objAttr.RootDirectory = NULL;
	objAttr.Attributes = OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE | OBJ_KERNEL_HANDLE;

	objAttr.SecurityQualityOfService = NULL;

	HMODULE hDebugObject = NULL;

		}
	}

	Debug_Object = (_NtCreateDebugObject)GetProcAddress(hDebugObject, "NtCreateDebugObject");
	Debug_Process = (_NtDebugActiveProcess)GetProcAddress(hDebugObject, "NtDebugActiveProcess");


	NTSTATUS nStatus = Debug_Object(&MyDebugHandle,
								OBJECT_ALL_ACCESS,
								&objAttr,
								DEBUG_KILL_PROCESS_ON_EXIT);
	
        DWORD err = GetLastError();

	if(nStatus != STATUS_SUCCESS)
	{
		MessageBox(NULL, "Fail to create object", "Error", MB_OK)
		return FALSE;
	}

	NTSTATUS nStatusProc = Debug_Process(hWnd, MyDebugHandle);

        //This does not attch the process... Don't know what's the problem..

	}
			
	CloseHandle(MyDebugHandle);

}

Also the error after Debug_Process comes out to be 299 i.e "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed."...
